SUMMARY:Friday Lunch and Talk Series
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Gabriella Pizzuto: Closing the Autonomy Gap: Skill Acquisition in Robotic Chemists\n\nThe urgent need for new materials to solve global challenges e.g., climate change demands a paradigm shift in autonomous scientific discovery. While intelligent robotic systems offer the potential to revolutionise research by accelerating experimentation, a key hurdle remains: enabling robots to conduct complex, long-term experiments in human-centric, real-world laboratory settings. This talk explores the untapped potential of "robot scientists" and outlines our efforts to bridge this gap. I will detail our ongoing work developing and deploying intelligent robotic systems in Chemistry labs, showcasing their capabilities and the transformative impact they can have on materials discovery. Finally, I will share insights into the challenges and lessons learned from this multidisciplinary endeavour.\n\nhttps://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/research/seminars/abstract.php?id=1260
